I Am Rotting At Your Door

I am rotting at your door It's nothing you haven't seen before I wish I could stand up and leave It's a tapestry of tragedy I weave I bring this unto myself Put my emotions on a shelf In a jar, they're there to rot This all-consuming story plot There is nothing I can do I'm projected onto you But if I try to end this scene I'm afraid we won't reconvene So I love you impossibly And I'm stuck in frivolity I love you so much it hurts So I hope I stay in the dirt I can't hurt you if I do And you can't hurt me I love you
